FROM SECOND TO SEVENTH.
The building, from the second to the
seventh stories, is divided up into suites
and single rooms of various sizes, con-
veniently arranged for offices and gen
eral business purposes. 1t is safe to
say, in this connection, that the rooms
are the most desirable of any in st.
Paul to-day. Every convenience and
improvement is at ones hand, and the
location is in the very heart of the bust
ness center. The lighting, ventilating
and heating appliances are the very best
known to modern architects, builders
and inventors, and every consideration
for comfort and health has been looked
after. The GLOBE building is, without
doubt, the model Office and business
block of the Northwest. The second
floor is cut up into fourteen rooms, of
various sizes. There is also finely
equipped water closet room for the first
and second floors, and separate toilet
room for ladies. There are fifteen rooms
on the third floor, besides rear hall on
the fourth floor there are eighteen rooms,
with large water closet room for the
third and fourth floors; the fifth floor
has twenty rooms; the sixth twenty
rooms, with water closets for the fifth
and sixth floors, and the seventh floor
has sixteen rooms, one of which is 27X66.
THE THREE. UPPER FLOORS.
The editorial rooms are located on the
eighth floor. They take up all the space
except 27Y66 feet, which is to be rented
for business purposes. There are four
teen rooms i'll addition to this large one.
Five of them face on Cedar, four on
nd fiXvn
or on the western side. They are
roomy, light and cheerful, and the
GLOBE force certainly has as pleasant
quarters as any in the United States.
Aside from the reporters, who are to
occupy one room, each member of the
local or editorial stats will have pri-
vate or separate rOom-the managing
editor, the editOr-in-chief, his assistant,
the night editor, the telegraph editor,
the city editor, the special writers, the
society and exchange editor, and like
wise the artist. The arrangements for
convenience and comfort are perfect in
every respect, and there is every in
centive, inspired by the pleasant sur
rOundings, for the GLOBE staff to keep
the paper in the front rank OF American
journalism and sustain its reputation as
the representative newspaper of the
Northwest. There are water closet
rooms on this floor for the use of tenants
on the seventh and eighth floors. The
ninth floor is occupied wholly by the
GLOBE. Here is located the composing
room, 57XS0, the most complete and con-
venient in the world. The ceiling is
eighteen feet high, and the lighting of
the large room by windows and sky
light is all that could be desired. A
portion of the room extends to the roof
through the tenth floor. Every effort
has been made to make this the model
composing room of the country, and ii
is not believed there is any-East, North,
West or South-that will equal it. On
the same floor is the stereotyping room,
57X50, which is supplied with all modern
appliances. Between the two rooms,
and facing on Cedar street, is the fore
mans office, 16X17, and back of all these,
on the south, are the wash room and
water closets. There is absolutely
nothing lacking to add to the complete
ness of this department of the GLOBE.
The tenth story does not occupy the en-
tire space, S5X90, q part of the ninth
story, as stated, extending to the roof.
The portion constructed, however, is di-
vided into five rooms, in addition to
| closets and several small rooms which
can;be utilized for closets. 1t is the in
tentlOn to use one OF the rooms for a
| library and reading room, and another
will be occupied by the janitor. A din
ing room, or restaurant, for the tenants
and occupants Of the building, may pos
sibly be established on this floor. All
in all, it is the most complete and con-
venient newspaper establishment and
Office building combined in America,
and the GLOBE sends greeting to the
great Northwest and the whole world
to-day on the occasion of issuing its first
edition from its handsome new quarters.
The architect of the new GLOBE build
ing is the well-known e. Townsend
Mix, of Milwaukee, who stands in the
front rank of his profession, and whose
work on this occasion has proven his
.capability and his intelligent conception
of what should be the nature of a great
building in these modern days. The
GLOBE building will stand as monu-
ment of his handiwork and a sample of
his ideas and methods. Mr.. Mix has de-
signed large numbers of the most i'm
posing and important buildings in the
leading cities of the West and North
west, but there are few, if any, that sur
pass the GLOBE building in architectural
beauty and symmetry and absolute solid
ity and security.
